shopping centers
Stores under roofs
Shopping centers are complexes containing multiple retail stores, typically sharing a parking area and common walkways.
They range from small strip malls to massive enclosed structures with department stores, restaurants, and entertainment venues.
The indoor variety is usually called a shopping mall.
The new shopping center has a grocery store, a gym, and several restaurants.
